'''''The Dreaming''''' is an Australian Horror OELManga trilogy by Queenie Chan.
The story begins with twin sisters, Amber and Jeannie Malkin, starting at Greenwich Private College, a boarding school in the remote Australian bush with a mysterious history of many missing students. The twins have horrible and weird nightmares and strange things begin to happen in the school, while soon another student vanishes. Needless to say, it gets worse from there.
